Ruby Tuesday - More red plant-inspired jewellery ! (Part II)

Image
For last week's Ruby Tuesday I showed a red and green beaded necklace (click here to see it again) that I made to look a little bit like rose hips. This week I will continue to show some of my efforts to make plant-inspired jewellery. Here is a bracelet made with an antiqued brass chain with 10mm links with the same bright red beads from India that I used for last week's necklace. But instead of stringing the red beads and glass leaves in a row, the "rose hips" hang individually more like the way they do from branches of a rose bush. This time I am using olive green Czech pressed glass leaf beads to hang on the bracelet as charms. Making bracelets is a real challange, because like rings, they are constantly seen by the wearer herself. Maybe this is why I began making necklaces .

New raw naterial: brass! This passed week I have ordered antiqued solid brass chain to be used in making necklaces and bracelets. The links are 10 mm. This will be something new, as I have stuck to silver findings and chains up to now. We are not going to sell any of this chain to designers or other jewellery-makers. If you are interested in purchasing a length of this kind of chain, please contact Diana at Mountain Shadow Design. Please click here .
